Applications now open for the Internet Governance Forum Travel Support
Applications are currently being accepted for the 2024 Internet Governance Forum Travel Support. During the IGF 2018, the United Nations Secretary-General emphasized the need for enhanced inclusivity within the IGF processes, highlighting the importance of incorporating the “weak and missing voices” into the Forum’s activities.
Additionally, there was a call for a more comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to engage experts who are not typically involved in IGF processes. The community has also advocated for greater inclusion and diversity within the spectrum of IGF participation.
In light of these considerations, a limited number of eligible candidates from developing nations will receive Internet Governance Forum Travel Support to attend the 19th annual meeting of the IGF, which will be hosted by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh from December 15 to 19, 2024. This Internet Governance Forum Travel Support is made possible through contributions to the IGF Global South Fund by the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
